Also Scooter Gennet never signed.

I thought they both are with the Mets and maybe Cordell is too.

Yes really he supposedly had a deal in the works with the Giants then he tested positive and bye bye deal.

I will trust you on that but have you been in the training room of any team since summer camp started ? Social distancing is required too isnt it ? But I don't see much of that going on in the dugouts and i have watched every single televised game .

I am also cautiously optimistic but also realize ,as you do, that these players are in close contact in the dugout and probably other places like the training room and they are adverse to wearing masks while playing and probably trust the protocols a little more than they should.

LOl naw sorry It would be Mookie Betts and a bunch of scrubs with the the way the Sox do business. I don't remember if I ever said he wouldn't sign before FA but he certainly would have if the Sox traded for him because there's no way the Sox would have signed him for what the Dodgers eventually do.Just because he resigned with the Dodgers only makes you partially right. But you actually thinking the Sox could pull it off was wrong. Winning is fucking awesome not depleting your whole roster just to have Mopkie Betts . Only a team like the Yankees or Dodgers could have accomplished this.

Except there's a big difference in the Dodgers trading for a guy like Betts and the Sox trading for him and hoping to resign him coming out of a rebuild and needing every plus arm like Cease. The Dodgers have made the playoffs many years in a row and have seemingly unlimited resources. The Sox have never even been to the playoffs 2 years in a row and never have nor will they ever come close to salary tax limitations. Now if you had argued it makes sense for the Dodgers to trade for him and try to resign him I would have agreed with you. but the Sox ? nahhhh ! So you were still wrong and that's not being mean its just we are not the Dodgers.

Yes successful so far but it hasn't been that long that summer camp started and everyone came into camp after testing negative and now MAYBE Mazara has it. Let's just hope we are all jumping to conclusions and its just a bad cold or a flu.

Only because you want to believe science has it under control which they do not.

And I haven't seen one player on the Sox batting or fielding with a mask on which means they are entering the dugout without a mask in close contact with many other players in the dugout who also aren't wearing masks.

More like the lineup in the next week. If it is Covid no telling how much this can snowball. 1 player next week one the week after and on and on.

Probably as good as Mazara . Yea i guess so if you use WAR since Leury's fielding and speed would probably give him a boost but Leury does not have the potential to have a break out year and hit the equivalent of 30+ HR's or put up a better OPS than Mazara. Losing Mazara also hurts the bench depth. If Mazara had a break out year that would have greatly increased the Sox chances to make the playoffs and his trade value. Leury is 29 so we can pretty much guess he's a finish product. Mazara was 24 when the Sox traded for him and turned 25 in May and despite the proclamations of some that he is what he is, that is hardly the case with most ball players that age , especially ones that were so good that they could play a full year in the majors at the age of 21. Mazara is a month younger than Moncada. Giolito broke out at age 25 after being the worst pitcher in baseball for a year. Luis Robert will be 23 in 2 weeks and has yet to play an inning in MLB.

Mazara was also having a great spring training .364 .462 .545 1.007 . Loved that 1 Ab we saw recently in the intrasquad game when he just placed the ball on the ground towards SS when they shifted on him to get a single and drive in a run . If that was Madrigal everyone would have been raving about his baseball IQ.

Scooter Gennett is still unsigned.He's probably as good a right fielder as Mazara except for his arm which is important in RF. Offer him $1M for a couple of months. How can you turn that down ? Stick him on the taxi squad and see what you have. I always wanted Corey Dickerson but I stuck up fiercely for Mazara because he had superstar upside .

Now . now, don't get that feeling sorry for ourselves . 2nd team in the 2nd city nonsense blues, brother. It's all good.

I'm thinking that the Marlins will trade Jonathan Villar before the trade deadline. If there's any position on the Sox that could use a much better player its 2nd base. He's only signed for this year so if he has a good year he should be available for the last 30 games . What he's worth for 30 games and playoffs, I have no idea what the Marlins would want. Hell you could offer something for him now if trades are allowed now.

MLB teams want to hire Hispanic managers and Ozzie still can't get a gig and he won a World Series . That's really all anyone has to know about how toxic he is. No one wants unpredictable personalities when they have a huge upside of bad publicity for your team.It's the same reason no one signed Puig.

Also anyone with MLB.TV should have already got an email that says you'll be getting a $59 refund if u picked just the one team package but need to claim it by 7/31 . You can apply it to next years package or just get the money back.

Im not thinking of anyone . It's literally in the article.

id had the same problem but i fixed it yesterday. Change the format from the white sox highlights page to show the scores page. Then u will see the game and it should be highlighted in blue since im assuming you have the Sox as your favorite team. If you have any problems message me.

Proven bat that's why and in a year they hoped to contend that was more important.

I thought he called it shrubbery as in "its another shrubbery" referring to the double into the ivy and one of his HR's into the green shrubbery adorning the CF hitters background.

Is it the sport you love or the winning and having a good team ? Every time I see a game i already know i love the sport (No reaffirmation required) but winning is a lot more fun.

That barrage of extra base hits was fun. 3 doubles a triple and HR with most of the damage coming after 2 outs. Remember David Ross said “I’m going to treat it like a real game as much as possible.” Lucky for him it wasn't .
